I'm using a DSL line on my email server. Which is part of my ISP's static DSL pool. I don't send thru my ISP's mail server. I'm starting to see the error in this now. In my mind I had somehow split the difference of HOME DSL and BUSINESS DSL. I always agreed that HOME DSL users should always send thru their ISP's mail server, but figured BUSINESS DSL didn't have to.
I'm almost in the same situation.. but worse. I don't have DSL at all, but my new IP block (for a full T1) was in a block used by DSL customers at one point. So if an ISP is going to block because it's a "DSL IP" - I'm screwed, and having a T1 vs SDSL is almost meaningless. I suppose that I could ask for a new IP block but that seems to be a bit excessive. I didn't have a chance to check out the IP block beforehand as I didn't get the block until the day Covad showed up to finish the installation.
If you've got the connection with the intention of running your own mailserver, check the IP address(es) you've got on an RBL lookup page such as:
http://openrbl.org/
And if you find yourself already listed in them due to *previous* uses of the ip addresses, I'd either be asking your ISP to attempt to get your range de-listed from the lists it might be on, (by contacting the RBL's and proving that the previous issues are cleared up) or asking for a new ip address range on the grounds that the one you have doesn't fulfill your needs through no fault of your own.
Check the new range they offer for RBL hits *before* accepting it ;-)
Good luck.
Regards, Simon
